Plot

Ash and friends are lost in a forest when they are attacked by a Skarmory that kidnaps May. It drops May on the other side of a tall fence, and several hooded men prevent Ash, Brock and Max from entering.

The Skarmory drops May on the ground, where she saves a Bulbasaur from falling off a cliff. A group of Grass-type Pokemon angrily attack May, but she drives them back with Torchic's Ember attack.

The hooded men explain to the guys that the Grass-type Pokemon will attack any human that trespasses, because people damaged the forest trying to catch Grass-type Pokemon. The guys decide saving May is more important, and Ash manages to get over the fence.

A group of Grass-types corner May, and Ash swoops in and has Pikachu clear a path. The two kids run for it, but get cornered again. A Venusaur arrives and orders the other Pokemon to back off, accompanied by the Bulbasaur that May helped.

May begins to befriend the Bulbasaur, but Team Rocket arrives, trying to catch Grass-types with their robot. May gets caught inside the robot as well, and helps all the Pokemon break free. The Venusaur uses SolarBeam to blast the robot away.

Reunited in the end, the kids get ready to depart the forest, with one new addition--the Bulbasaur decides to join May on her journey.
